Iran's navy chief Shahram Irani on Sunday called US President Donald Trump's threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz "ridiculous," after marathon talks between Tehran and Washington in Pakistan failed to deliver a deal to end the Middle East war.
"The brave men of the naval force of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran are monitoring and supervising all the movements of the aggressive American army in the region. The threats of the U.S. president to blockade Iran at sea... are very ridiculous and funny," he said, according to state TV.
